Scott Harrison has no intention of throwing in the towel on his career – despite vacating his WBO featherweight title on Wednesday night.

The 29-year-old was scheduled to defend his title against Nicky Cook at the ExCel Arena in London on Saturday after being released from a Spanish prison last month. But the Cambuslang fighter was unable to make the weight limit and made a late withdrawal from the bout.

Harrison’s manager Barry Hughes told the Evening Times: “Scott has assured me he wants to fight on and the natural progression of that will be to campaign at 130lbs and super-featherweight.”

He added: “I am confident and equally determined to make sure this is not the end for Scott and he thinks the same way.”
